Your videos are so polished it’s blinding (even with the occasional amusing framing issues!) You keep all the homey feel of a vintage radio show, somehow with all the glamour and shine of a Hollywood warehouse, all from your basement sewing room. Simply an epically beautiful channel, your artistry is evident in all of it💙
Morgan Donner just made a great Pressing Station from a piece of old furniture. Noelle P of costuming drama mostly uses her big table, with a wool mat. Both worth looking in to, or combining.
It looks incredible . They said it would never happen but I love the resurgence of tie dye and also the crazy crochet pieces that are appearing. This dress is a cut above.
Hi Bianca. The dress turned out beautifully. I’m not normally a lover of tie dye, but the colours you chose were lovely. You, of course looked amazing in the dress. X
Love your hair and the hand dyed fabric! Always amazed at your sewing ability using an antique sewing machine. Makes sewing so approachable. You don’t need to wait to buy all the expensive computerized bling.
Very cool. It's nice, to have the option of such a striking looking fabric, without having to resort to using synthetics. Cotton sateen is indeed wonderful to work with and wear!
For a new ironing board I recommend looking into a DIY quilting ironing board. It's a piece of wood with a few layers of cotton batting and a top cover. It's my favorite way to go. 🥰
I never mastered tightly woven or high thread count fabrics but I can tell you the secret for thick sheets or thickly stacked jersey knit : 1) wedge your fabric tightly inside a barrier so the melt water has nowhere to go but through the material. 2) pile your ice at least as deep as the thickness of the material to be dyed then add a layer for good measure.
The fact that you made that incredible pattern is blowing my mind, and then on top of it your way of casually designing and constructing the actual garment is always a joy to watch. Amazing stuff!
I recently watched a video where a guy took a ton of denim fabric and made an entire epoxy desk out of it. Now all I can think about is how this geode print would make a killer table! It's so pretty.
@@AntelJM It's possible, but I watch wood working channels too, so I'm not quite sure. Maybe it's just getting a lot of attention and youtube is pushing it or something.
The dress is so very lovely! You put a lot of thought, labor, and love into your creations. Thank you for peeking into the Alexander McQueen dress to see the seam binding! I must admit that I do that when I go shopping. My best to you and your cats!
I have started buying neutral coloured fabric as well as white just so I can dye my own colours, it’s nice to work with my own choices in colours , but it’s nice knowing that it’s the only one out there. I have a Overlocker which I do use so the fabric does not fray while working with it, but I have started felling all of my seams as I love the finished look on the inside of the garment, I have found that when it comes to pressing the garment after washing is so much easier.
Oh man how damn gorgeous is this! My husband used to do Shibori tie-dye. He used huge dental syringes to inject color into the thick bound areas. It is fabulous!
❤ You are mastery in motion, Bianca, and a tonic for my pandemic-wearied mind.... NYC is but an AMTRAK ride from points in VT with Montreal even closer.... 😊 Keep the dream alive for your Victorian homebase.... I'm mad for the St. Johnsbury area myself.... Your work is a dream for us - your viewers!!
this is so amazing. i love how you're always trying new things. in an earlier video (from about 2019) you talked about how you make pretty much the same clothes because it's what you wear, but cut to 2023 you're making absolutely phenomenal pieces that could be on an alexander mcqueen runway. bravo!
My ironing board is made of metal - expanded metal top mounted onto angle iron frame. I use 2 ironing board covers which eliminates the diamond pattern of the expanded metal. 😸 My goodness, I do LOVE your color scheme of the ice dye !!! Truly, make me drool and stare in awe at this Gorgeous Dress. 😻😻😻
I have a vey heavy vintage ironing board that converts into a step ladder. Ironing while climbing on a step ladder are two activities that seldom need to occur simultaneously.
You are gorgeous as usual... this patterning is a true testament to your drafting skills... the stand up collar n sharp notched front neckline amazes me... truly beautiful tye dye... lastly the amber geo shape high on your shoulder gives he impression of a corsage... yummy 😊
I remember when we did tie dye in chemistry in ye old Highschool days. Way more fun than the labs I had to do in college. The dress is stunning and I wish you all the luck in house hunting. ❤
Another amazing dress! I would love to see you make a garment using the "glitch" tie dye pattern! I think it could potentially work well with something inspired by Bladerunner like your color blocked gradient piece.
Thank you! I have only done lazy glitch dyes where I sorta fold the fabric randomly in triangles, becuase the thickness of the real glitch ties intimate me 😂
I love these geode tie dyes so much... and the dress is just delicious on you. I found a source of summer ice.... the skating arena goes all year because hockey, and the zamboni dumps a heap of shaved ice outside the community centre. Might be worth looking into if you live near a year-round skating rink? You'd think in summer the pile would melt immediately but it lasts longer than you'd expect.
Thanks to you, I tried some ice dyeing with a thrifted linen top. So pleasing. l still find the entire process an utter mystery and your dress is no exception. But the outcome is absolutely SO organic and beautiful!
I can never follow the magic geometry of sleeveless facings and linings unless I'm the one doing it. Watching you manipulate the beautiful fabric inside and out against the laws of space and time made me dizzy. 😁
I can recommend an antique or vintage ironing board. They usually have 4 legs and a wood board. You might need a little extra padding, but they are much sturdier and will last longer.
Awesome fabric!! The dress looks fabulous. Noted the comment about using the fabric in quilting ( I m an avid quilter). Can see this type of fabric used to create a ladder around a solid or a narrow border to add a unique finish. I’m sure you could turn the fabric scraps into something gorgeous whether a quilt or a handbag. Keep those creative videos going!!!
Thank you Annie! I am super tempted to dye a bunch of fabrics to look like different colors of "marble" and make a bed quilt that looks like mosaic stone 🤩 Though I need to make a few quilts to learn before that I imagine 🤣
Bianca, another historical dress content creator said there is going to be a ball in St Louis in October and I thought of your wonderful gown and how that would be a perfect time to wear it and not too far from your current home.
Alas I do not, can not, and will not, dance. 🤣 Add that to social anxiety and no balls for me! I prefer hosting Halloween parties, and one day I will do so again ✨
I am HERE for couture tie-dye. 🖤
You are an ICON. I have NEVER EVER seen someone make beautiful pieces like you.
Thank you!! ❤

You watch the same people I do! :)
Morgan Donners was simplicity and just the right piece.
It looks incredible . They said it would never happen but I love the resurgence of tie dye and also the crazy crochet pieces that are appearing. This dress is a cut above.
Thank you Lynette!

Thank you Debra!
Past me saves me more times than not so we don’t want to be too hard on our past selves😂
Love your hair and the hand dyed fabric! Always amazed at your sewing ability using an antique sewing machine. Makes sewing so approachable. You don’t need to wait to buy all the expensive computerized bling.
Thank you Deb! I far, FAR, prefer my machine from 1955 to my machine from 2020, the Singer 99K is my best friend 😂❤
This is such a gorgeous dress! Love everything about it ❣️
Thank you Kera!
The standing collar with the points really elevates this, gives it a bit more of an edge.
This will look so COOL (pun intended) for summer!
Thank you Katie! I'm excited to wear it on my next visit to the botanic gardens ✨
I love the hair off your face. It really suits you. The colors are vibrant, a real surprise. The whole project looks sleek and stylish.
Thank you Sherrill!
Very cool. It's nice, to have the option of such a striking looking fabric, without having to resort to using synthetics.
Cotton sateen is indeed wonderful to work with and wear!
Thank you Rara!
The colours in this are wonderful. Good job, well done.
Thank you Mandy! It makes me feel like a tide pool in the best way 😂🐟
Love, love, love the dyeing and the dress is fabulous.
Thank you Marie!

Another finish that can only be described as, "WOW".
I appreciate the links to the other skilled textile artists. Thank you!
Thank you!
I now have a reason to look foward to winter - ice tie dye!! Your work is so inspiring, thank you!
Thank you Anita!
The fact that you made that incredible pattern is blowing my mind, and then on top of it your way of casually designing and constructing the actual garment is always a joy to watch. Amazing stuff!
Thank you Emma!
Love the ice dyed dress! these videos just make my day and again I love your hair! :)
Thank you Anthony!
Thank you for recommending Tasha's tutorial! It makes perfectly good sense now, and I've got a new channel to enjoy.
Haven't watched the video yet, but popped in to say i loooove your new hair!! It looks stunning and suits you so much. So cool
Thank you Anna!
I recently watched a video where a guy took a ton of denim fabric and made an entire epoxy desk out of it. Now all I can think about is how this geode print would make a killer table! It's so pretty.
Hahaha...just watched that. Killer, isn't it?
And now you're giving me ideas....
Is the denim table thing linked to vintage sewing channels, I just had to watch it to get it off my ‘recommended’!
@@AntelJM It's possible, but I watch wood working channels too, so I'm not quite sure. Maybe it's just getting a lot of attention and youtube is pushing it or something.
Ooh, I love that collar and neckline! It's a really interesting, modern touch.
Thank you April!
I am crazy about how this looks like stone! WOW, WOW, WOW!
Thank you Michelle! Ice dying /rocks/ ✨😂
Super gorgeous. This makes me want to play with fabric dyeing.
Thank you! Do it!!
I can't pin down why but I find the scissors you use for cutting out the patterns so satisfying. I could probably watch a whole video of just that.
Ha! They are a good backup zombie apocalypse weapon they are so heavy 😂
I'd love a malachite version.
I'm obsessed! This dress is GORGEOUS! The colors are perfection!
Thank you Lindsey!
I love the satisfying all in one facing. It's like bag lining the neck line and arms eye in one go. Very cool.
Wow totally looks like a geode! Super cool! Dress looks nice! Great job! You look great in it, nice styling!
Thank you!
The dress is so very lovely! You put a lot of thought, labor, and love into your creations.
Thank you for peeking into the Alexander McQueen dress to see the seam binding! I must admit that I do that when I go shopping. My best to you and your cats!
Thank you! Luckily the employees at McQueen were super cool and chill so I felt safe to touch a tiny bit of the clothes 😂
Its giving Plato's Atlantis! I love it!
Thank you!! The dream 🤩
this dye pattern is BREATHTAKING!!!
Wow! I've considered ice dying before, but never loved anything as much as this! You've convinced me to give it a go. Great video!
Thank you Nicole! Careful it is VERY fun 🤩

Wow. So far in your dying journey, this colour combination is my favorite. Stunning on you as is the shorter hair. A very stylish Bianca these days
Thank you Annette!
Oh man how damn gorgeous is this! My husband used to do Shibori tie-dye. He used huge dental syringes to inject color into the thick bound areas. It is fabulous!
Thank you Thea! Shibori is SO GORGEOUS, I would love to have a shibori haori one day 🤩

Bianca + tie dyed fabric = BLISS!!! 😊❤
Wow! That fabric is just gorgeous!
Thank you Susan!

We did a beautiful job on that dress!
Your tie dye projects are some of the few that make me interested in tie dye

Thank you Tiffany!
Absolutley gorgeous!! ❤
Thank you!
30:00 I have a thick hard felted wool ironing pad. it's wonderful, and the heat from below makes things go so fast.
This is my favorite. Gorgeous!
Thank you Louisa!
Great tutorial! Praying you will have a new home soon! 🙏
Thank you Haddie! It's a little delayed, but the dream remains alive 😅✨
What an incredibly wonderful look!
Thank you!
It's so beautiful and looks really great on you❤
Thank you Carol!
It’s just insanely beautiful. 🫠❤

THIS DRESS 👏 YOUR HAIR 👏👏👏
Thank you! 😅
OOOOH, Its so beautiful.👏👏

Thank you Kaytie! It's so fun, I miss it already 😂🧊
Beautiful dress!
Thank you Nadia!
i knew i liked you! you got CATS! LOL! but hunny, you worked this dyed dress! LOVE IT!!!!!!
I can never follow the magic geometry of sleeveless facings and linings unless I'm the one doing it. Watching you manipulate the beautiful fabric inside and out against the laws of space and time made me dizzy. 😁
Indeed this was a dizzying one for sure! 🤯
Such a pretty dress! Maybe you could start a business doing geode bias tap and rayon binding 😜. It's such a cool idea!
Thank you Katerrinah!
I can recommend an antique or vintage ironing board. They usually have 4 legs and a wood board. You might need a little extra padding, but they are much sturdier and will last longer.
Just WOW…❤
Gorgeous as always ❤

I absolutely love this. It's gorgeous!
Thank you Courtney!
Beautiful!!!
Thank you Rachel!
Wow. Love it
Thank you Gloria!
I love that you share the tips to be conscious of your pattern placement. No dreaded bullseye boobs.😂
I was just hoping you would have a Thursday video! This week!
Stunning ❤
Thank you Emma!
Fantastic ❤
Thank you Robin!
I love this dress. Now I'm inspired. uh-oh.
Thank you!
Love the dress. The style. I need to learn to sew. 😂
Thank you! Do ittttt ✨
